Region 9 GameDay: Region play opens and now the real fun begins

ST. GEORGE — Region 9 GameDay is here, with Andy Griffin bringing you insight, breaking down the Friday fight and offering all the highlights from Region 9 in 2017.

For six of the seven Region 9 teams, league play begins tonight, with teams hunting a shot at the region title and, at the very least, a prized ticket to the 4A playoffs.

On the show today, brought to you by Revere Health, Andy breaks down the matchups and gives the lowdown in what to expect as the region slate begins. The rivalries are more intense and the matchups are much more even than in preseason play.

Here’s the line-up of tonight’s games:

Hurricane (1-2) at Desert Hills (1-2) – ESPNRadio 97.7 FM, CEC-TV

Snow Canyon (3-0) at Dixie (3-0) – 890-AM KDXU

Cedar (1-2) at Canyon View (0-3)

Cyprus (2-1) at Pine View (2-1)

Every Friday, we’ll have a preview of the day’s games. Then, on Mondays, we’ll bring you the Region 9 Blitz, with weekly awards and video of the top plays of the week.
